Rhetoric

This election has brought a lot of good out of the nation. If anything we built new forms of infrustructure for complicated dialectic that never existed before. We had a lot to stand up against, simple fearmongering is an extremely powerufl force and yet we came so close to overcoming it with ideas that, while still simplistic, were at least based on some subset of reality and not on delisional armogedden fantasy.

We are becoming more aware of the whirling murdoch machine and its power to zap idiots into submission but it has also become more aware of us.

I think we need to use these new infrustructures for something beyond politics which is honestly the lowest form of human expresssion. I know that during the leadup to the war and during this election I've reached out to like minded individuals in ways that were never possible before and in turn they have reached out to me.

I believe that this macrocomsic communication can be applied in microcosmic situations that will help improve every day life. How many decisions do we make independantly of the electorate, hundreds daily. The political machine has very little to do with life and everything to do with forcing us into niches and keeping us apart. Let us use the new arms and legs we have grown to make our own lives better and extend our ideas and energy to others in need.
